How many iPhones a day are sold?

Can you earn a steady income by reselling iphones? Snagging them on craigslist and reselling them?

• There's a good snag at least every couple of days. I hope I don't jinx it. Like, for example, they are selling iphone 4s 32gb for 200 bucks. I posted a "fake-ish" ad on craigslist, to see if someone would buy an iphone 4s 32gb for 400 bucks. I've already had 2 people reply to me in the past hour! I can make 200 bucks this way if I buy that iphone. What if I do this every day? I could make anywhere between 200-600+ $ a week. If I am able to snag iphones. I also saw an ad yesterday for iphone 3gs's, where the person was selling 2 iphones with broken screens for 50 bucks for all of them. The screen replacements cost about 7-8 bucks on amazon, so I can spend about 70 bucks replacing screens on these two iphones, then sell them both for 110 bucks, making 40 bucks on each one, 80 bucks total. Too bad I was kind of late at buying them, because the person already sold them to someone. I read the ad too late. But if I refresh craigslist everyday, I may be the first to snag such a thing. Is this crazy or what? XD

• Answer:

  It's crazy and likely that the phones you purchase are either stolen or broken. There are no shortcuts to real wealth. Why would ANYONE sell their iPhone 4s when they have at least $500 in commitments remaining on their 2-year contract?
